Unihouse

Modular building manufacturer

The costs and increasingly stringent standards imposed on residential and public utility buildings compel the search for new, more ecological, and energy-efficient technologies. Unihouse offers a response to these challenges through modular buildings constructed using wood. As a manufacturer, we handle their design, construction, and furnishing, all utilizing automated and precise production processes.

Advantages of the technology

  • Comprehensiveness from the turnkey project, the possibility to design your own idea, construction and erection of modules on site, delivery of apartments ready to move in.

  • Short construction period as a result of transferring some technological processes from the construction site to the production hall, e.g. turnkey construction of a hotel in 3-4 months (depending on the design assumptions).

  • Can be expanded and implemented in any location, simple assembly, disassembly and relocation.

  • Production under controlled factory conditions regardless of weather conditions and assembly under any weather conditions.

  • Modern technology, using the advantages of ecologically clean materials such as wood, gypsum, mineral wool.

  • Certified quality and full fire protection of building elements up to fire resistance level REI 60.

Design

Using the modules produced in Bielsk Podlaski, we can construct not only residential buildings, but also office buildings, hotels, dormitories, kindergartens, schools, outpatient clinics, etc.

A great advantage of module buildings is their short completion time on the construction site, as well as the possibility of “assembling” modules, even during winter, with prior preparation of the foundations.

Unihouse - FAQ

Where and when was the first Unihouse building constructed?

Unihouse's first building - Brundalsgrenda in Trondheim, Norway - was built in November 2009 and handed over in May 2010.

What guarantee does Unihouse give on its buildings?

We give a guarantee for the period required by the regulations of the country in which the project is carried out. The guarantee is 50 years for the load-bearing structure, and 2 to 5 years for finishing and installation work. For equipment installed in Unihouse buildings, the guarantee is in line with that provided by the manufacturer of the product in question (lift, kitchen appliances, etc.). Unihouse provides warranty and post-warranty service for its buildings. After the first year of use, we also recommend an annual inspection of the entire building, where our staff check that everything is functioning properly.

Does Unihouse produce single-family homes?

Unihouse technology makes it possible to build single-family houses, terraced houses, but the company's strategy does not include cooperation with individual customers, so Unihouse does not have a catalogue of single-family houses in its offer. Unihouse does not manufacture single family houses, but it is possible to cooperate with local authorities, developers who want to order a larger number of houses. Unihouse is able to offer entire estates of modular houses, with a minimum order of 10 units on the Polish market and 30 units on the foreign market.

What scope of work does Unihouse offer?

We offer a full range of modular building work, from design, module manufacture and assembly to final turnkey finishing work. We provide a comprehensive service and a finished product tailored to our clients' individual needs, taking care of every stage of the process.

Will Unihouse be the general contractor?

As part of the Unibep group, Unihouse can act as a general contractor, both in Poland and abroad.

Are the Unihouse modules mainly made of wood?

Unihouse modules are made with a timber frame load-bearing structure. This means that a timber frame is responsible for the structure, with thermal insulation (e.g. mineral wool) in between, and various types of board sheathing on both sides. Unihouse uses materials that are wood-based or made of wood, such as solid wood, glulam KVH, BSH, CLT, LVL or I-Joist beams. It is thanks to modern materials with enhanced technical parameters that Unihouse has built 8-storey buildings, which would not have been possible using only ordinary wood. However, for the finishing, Unihouse also uses other certified building materials available on the market.

Will Unihouse design and supply the modules?

Yes, Unihouse offers a comprehensive service that includes the design, manufacture and supply of modules. We are able to customise modules to suit the client's individual needs, both in terms of size and fittings. Unihouse can also take care of the installation of the modules on site, delivering ready-to-use flats.

Where to start building in modules?

Unihouse staff will help you organise everything and be a support throughout the construction process. Where do you start and how do you prepare to start modular construction?

  • Define your needs and requirements. Determine what your expectations are in terms of the function and appearance of the building, its size and location.
  • Consultation. Contact us to discuss the details of the project, the technological possibilities and to get an initial quote
  • Preparation of documentation. Gather the necessary documents, such as the site plan, development conditions, as well as any other permits and approvals required by law.
  • Design. Work with Unihouse's design team to create a design that suits your needs and meets all building standards.
  • Adapt the design to modular technology. Ensure that the design is adapted to modular production, which may require some modifications to traditional building methods.
  • Signing the contract. Once the design has been finalised and the quote has been accepted, sign the contract with Unihouse for the development.
  • Site preparation. Prepare the construction site, including foundations and any necessary installations, according to Unihouse's technical requirements.
  • Production and installation. Once the site has been prepared, Unihouse will start the production of the modules at the factory and then transport and assemble them on site.
What capacity does the factory have?

The Unihouse factory has a production capacity of around 2,000 modules per year. It is one of the largest companies in the modular construction sector in Europe.

What is the longest Unihouse buildings have stood?

Unihouse modular buildings can stand for many years. Their lifespan is comparable to traditional technology buildings. The ETA certificate issued for Unihouse includes a period of 50 years, but this is a value from the regulations. Traditional buildings also have the same period. Unihouse gives a guarantee for the construction of its buildings for 50 years. However, it is worth remembering that the useful life, regardless of the type of construction, also depends on regular maintenance and care of the building.

How much do modular buildings cost from Unihouse?

The price of a modular building module can vary depending on a number of factors such as the size, configuration, finish and location of the project. In addition, costs can also be shaped by the individual needs of the client and the materials used. You are welcome to request an individual valuation of your investment.

What does the client need to communicate to see if it is possible to do the project in modules?

The client should provide accurate project requirements, which include, but are not limited to, the size and purpose of the building, technical specifications and preferences for finishes and equipment. It is also important that the client provides information about the location and ground conditions that may affect the design and installation of the modules. With this information, Unihouse can assess whether the project is feasible with modular technology and propose appropriate solutions.

What does the design process look like? Does Unihouse perform architectural concepts?

Unihouse has its own design office. We are able to provide a full design service. This is how we operate on the Polish market, where - depending on your needs - we even take care of the building permit. We can design a building from scratch in modular technology or adapt/change a design made in traditional technology into a modular one.
Architectural concepts are created with functionality and aesthetics in mind, as well as cost optimisation and reduced lead times. Unihouse offers a comprehensive service from turnkey design, which means you can design your own idea and realise the building according to your individual needs.
